Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, Boston Elopement Photo Story Award

The newlyweds hold each other close while taking some portraits in the Christian Science Plaza outside the Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street in Boston.

Simone and Shawn had originally hired me for the more traditionally sized wedding that they were planning for Fall of 2024. About a month after they originally booked me, the couple found out that they were expecting a baby so they decided to adjust their plans to have a much more intimate wedding with their closest family in May. Luckily, I was available for their new date and their original venue could adjust as well! 

On their wedding day, the couple got ready seperately with family, and then saw each other for the first time that day with a first look on a hotel balcony overlooking the neighboring Christian Science Church and some portraits in the plaza. After portraits, the couple had a ketubah signing with their families followed by a Jewish wedding ceremony officiated by a close friend. Simone and Shawn wanted to use their wedding photos as a pregnancy announcement, so we did incorporate their ultrasound photo into some of their portraits. 

After the ceremony, the guests gathered in a small ballroom for a cocktail hour where dancing spontaneously began. Cocktail hour was followed by a dinner enjoyed at one long table with a beautiful toast given by the bride's father.
